bones promo: special gifts teeheehee
The promo for next week’s Bones is unexpectedly sexy. When Santa explodes during a botched bank heist, Booth becomes evidence. The sides included the description of Brennan pushing nearly-naked Booth through the Jeffersonian on a gurney, but we had no idea just how far the show would take the joke. I know a lot of flaily fangirls who were overjoyed to see that they’re taking it all the way to Brennan undressing Booth–purely for evidence’s sake.
Also, Zooey Deschanel guest-stars (along with notable hot mess Ryan O’Neal) to bring some Christmas cheer to Brennan and the team. (Also interesting: they’ve taken down Booth’s apartment and rebuilt Brennan’s, though it looks like she’s moved again, making this the FOURTH apartment she’s lived in since the series started.)
While I still wouldn’t advise getting your hopes up for a Booth/Brennan kiss under the mistletoe, it does look like next week will bring the cuteness for them. Of the Booth/Brennan development in the Christmas episode, Emily teased:
She kind of opens up and has a new level of compassion. I think any time Booth and Brennan have some kind of breakthrough it brings both of them together and closer. You’ll see Brennan kind of starts to have a paradigm shift in how she is looking at certain situations and Booth kind of holds her hand through that. I think when you go through something that changes you, it is profound in a way and if somebody is helping you, it brings you closer together. Christmas brings people together and as much as Brennan resists that aspect, she usually ends up with people at the end!
I’m fairly certain that it’s the same apartment, they just keep moving the position of the door. You’d think they do a better job with that by now. Just take some pictures before you tear it down, people! :p
Yeah, I’m sure they want us to think it’s the same apartment. But like, consider where the dining room table and the kitchen are in relation to each other–compared with how they were situated in “The Glowing Bones in the Old Stone House” for the mac and cheese bit. I think the most likely scenario is that every time they rebuild it, the production team–be that the producers or the set designers or some combination of the two–decides to do things a little differently to make scenes easier to block, to give the set a different feel, or whatever.
